I pass the site of the new Francis Crick Institute – formerly known as UKCMRI – every day on my way to work. Here’s a photo of it that I took yesterday evening. Not the best photo I admit but it was rather windy and I had my hands full.

I’ll try and remember to take photos on a regular basis so you can see progress. The orange building in the left-background is, of course, the British Library. Behind the camera is St Pancras International Station.
